Waiting...... and waiting.......

Well, we are currently playing the waiting game. Valentine is set to arrive in exactly a week (the 7th) and I have never been so impatient/restless in my life. I'm already dilated and effacing- apparently I have a "great cervix" to quote my doctor, so hopefully that means my labor won't be too bad..... I'm not really holding my breath. At least I know my baby won't break my spine and my vampire-husband won't have to bite my baby out of me- gross, but I do heart that book. But we are excited and cannot wait to meet her and I can't wait to not feel like an ugly boy whale anymore and be able to actually hold my baby. The thought of me being a mom still kinda freaks me out, but makes me ecstatic at the same time... it's just weird, I still can't really go from the transition of being pregnant to actually having a baby. Drew's excited too, he talks to my tummy all the time, telling Valentine to please come and to not make her mom uncomfortable, but she's already not really listening to him- this parenting thing is going to be fun I can already tell.

MADIE!!! I love you!!! You started a blog! I think every person alive should have one. It's like being a fly on the ceiling in someone else's life. I hope you are not too uncomfortable. There's nothing like holding your baby for the first time. I was thinking about you the other day because I never sent the Rolo Cookies recipe. So sorry. I'll do that right now. Love you!!

While cleaning up Valentine after she peed all over herself and my mom's couch-

Me: "Valentine!!! We do NOT go pee-pee in our underwear!!! You're a big girl, you know that!! We do NOT do that!!!!"

Valentine: (looking down) "It's not so terrible Mama." (looks at me) "It's not so terrible."

Me: "Yes it is, it is so terrible. Don't do it again."

Valentine: (looking down again muttering) "It's not so terrible Mama....."

Page: "You're gonna diiiie!"

Dad: "Do we use these, can I throw them out??"

Jordan: "Yeah you can throw them away we don't use them anymore...... but that one Dance Dance Revolution Pad has so many dear memories."

I started to nurse Moses while some of the family was around....

Merry "Drew, do you wish that was you?"

She has been on FIRE lately!

Jessie: "So, how was Page and Ted's honeymoon?"

Kasi: "Good, they said pretty much all they did was hang out in the hotel room and on the beach."

Merry: "And make-out."

Me: "Valentine, please stop doing that."

Valentine: "WHAT'D YOU SAY?!" (continuing what she's not supposed to do)

Me: "Valentine, that's enough!"

Valentine: "WHAT'D YOU SAY??!" (still doing it)

Me: "Valentine! Sto.."

Valentine: "WHAT'D YOU SAY?! WHAT?!" (still doing it)

Summer (addressing everyone): "So, if you could have a million dollars but could never use the internet again would you take it? Which would you rather have?"

Many arguments ensued about whether a million dollars is worth more than a life time's use of the internet..... after a few minutes we hear.....

Merry: "So, would you rather have food or sex?"

Silence.

Everyone: "What did you say Merry???"

"Did you just say sex?"

Nico: "She didn't, she said text."

Me: " No, she said sex."

Merry: "Uh, yeah, I say SEX."

Valentine: "Whoah Momma, she's so heavy!" (while holding Moses)

Valentine: "Happy Tine-tine's Day!" (on Valentine's day)

While Valentine is awake in her crib at midnight and being ignored by her annoyed parents: (yelling) "Momma?!........ Hey Momma?............ Mooooommmmmaaaaaaa!......... Daddy?............ Bicah?!................. ANYBODY!!! HEY ANYBODY!!!!!!!!"

Valentine: "Aw, come on!"

Kasi: "I was a creepy teenager actually."

Merry: "Um, Ted. Probably at my wedding I will dance with you third. First my husband, then my dad and then you."

Yelling from the other room-

Me: "Valentine?"

Valentine: "What?!"

Valentine: "Wight back!"

Response from Bud to my text saying "IT'S A BOY!!!"

Bud: "Hurray! Madie you really pulled through on this one."
